Introduction
The HONPINE X Series underwater robotic system is a flagship solution for high-precision subsea operations, offering four models (X5, X10, X18, X25) with 6 DOF (excluding gripper). It covers a 5–25 kg payload range and 750–1500 mm working radius for precision and heavy-duty underwater tasks. The system achieves up to ±0.05 mm repeatability (X5/X10) and ±0.2 mm (X18/X25). Rated for operation to 300 m depth, it uses servo motors, supports position control, and enables master-slave teleoperation with flexible communication protocol support. Built from lightweight high-strength corrosion-resistant materials, it weighs 23–82 kg in air and as low as 9 kg underwater (X5), reducing ROV load for offshore pipeline alignment, valve operation, cable installation, and structural maintenance.

Features

• Flexible multi-model configuration: X5 (5 kg / 750 mm), X10 (10 kg / 1500 mm), X18 (18 kg / 1000 mm), X25 (25 kg / 1500 mm).
• Industry-leading precision: repeatability up to ±0.05 mm for X5/X10 and ±0.2 mm for X18/X25, enabling precision docking, valve control and other high-accuracy subsea tasks.
• Significant underwater weight reduction: e.g., X5 weighs only 9 kg underwater, improving ROV endurance and mission efficiency.
• Full-range motion capability: joint ranges include J1/J2 ±175°, J3 ±160°, J4/J5 ±175°, J6 continuous ±360°, providing full multi-angle coverage without blind spots.
• High dynamic response: joint speeds up to 180°/s for X5 and 100–180°/s for X10/X18/X25, balancing precision and operational efficiency.
• Intelligent control compatibility: supports position control mode, master-slave teleoperation and multiple communication protocols for flexible integration in research and industrial subsea systems.
• Deep-sea durability design: rated to ≤300 m with high-strength corrosion-resistant materials for long-term reliable performance.
